Disgorged in October 2021 with three grams per liter dosage, Coulon's 2013 Blanc de Noirs Millésime is a blend of ungrafted Pinot Meunier and old-vine Pinot Noir growing in sandy soils (which explains why the Meunier has been spared by phylloxera). Wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp golden orchard fruit, mirabelle plum, clear honey, freshly baked bread and buttery pasty, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with superb intensity without weight, racy acids and an attractive pinpoint mousse. Concluding with a long, intensely saline finish, this is a brilliant effort for this singularly underrated producer!

From massale selections growing in the family's historic holdings around the village, the latest rendition of Coulon's NV Brut L'Hommée is based on the 2018 vintage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of peach, ripe citrus, white flowers, buttery pastry and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and incisive, with racy acids and a bright, penetrating finish.
